    Image thumnail on form. Want to click to open in a larger window

    Hi



    My form has a thumbnail image - this image uses the 'Image Path' field as the control path. What I'd like to be able to do is click on this new image to display a larger one (on another form). I assume this needs some VBA for the on click event. Can anybody advise please, my experience of VBA is limited to say the least.

    Thanks

    Sorry...I thought that was what you were suggesting when you said 'I'd start with a message eg "Clicked on Thumbnail, now figure out how to open and display the photo" That way you'll know you re in the right area'. I misunderstood.

    OK. My suggestion was to create a click event for the thumbnail. In that event code just have it display a msgbox.
    When you click on the thumbnail, the message would appear. That is the basis of the functionality you want. So, the event is working; now adjust that code to have it get the larger image, then display that image.

    I was just trying to give some general info o approaching the problem in steps. Sorry for any confusion.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
